We all woke completely from sleep. Those enemies are here. You see, if mom didn't act fast, they would have caught up with us. "How did you know?" Dad asked"The warrior from your pack just alerted all of us. We received an alarm which indicates that they are around" "Have they entered the pack?" "Not yet, they are very close" "Good! Hope everyone is on alert now?" "Yes, to the best of our knowledge. Everybody has taken their position" "Interesting! Every family should work hard too and make sure they survive. The battle should not be left alone in the hands of the warriors" Dad said"Valerie, you will stay in the room while we do the remaining work" Mom said"Never! I can't allow my parents to risk their lives while I sleep. I was in the rightful position when one of them came into the house and was killed. So why will I be sleeping now they are coming in large number" "It's okay girl, just play safe" "Get me my phone," Dad said and I rushed to get the phone. He dialed a num

"Valerie, was your mom right?" I couldn't say a word. Why will mom break the news to dad? I was really going through a lot inside of me and I don't want anybody to add to it. "Valerie! Am I not talking to you?" "Dad, is it a crime to be in love?" "I never said it's a crime but you can't be in love with an ordinary warrior" What? Did Dad just say ordinary? "Dad! What do you mean by ordinary warrior? But he was the only one that survived out of the four you brought in here. He was the one that rescued mom and now you say this. It shows that you are ungrateful" My father gave me a thunderous slap that made me see some twinkling stars. "Dad!" "If you call me again, I will give you another dose. How dare you tell your father that he is ungrateful?" Dad retorted "Imagine the audacity. Valerie, I am surprised that you could talk to your dad like that" Mum said in shock I tried to apologize but he told me to leave his presence. I ran to my room and wept uncontrollably. The reas

VALERIE'S POV I opened my eyes and everywhere looked so cloudy. I saw my parents beside me. What happened? Why are they looking at me? "Mom, what happened to me?" "you fainted" "Fainted?" "And you lost the pregnancy" Dad announced "What? I lost the only consolation I had" I cried "Valerie, calm down. It's a good thing, since the father of the child is no longer alive. Do you want to have a child that will keep reminding you of the sorrow?" "But Dad, that child would have made me to remember him all through my life" "it's nothing. Just relax. You will get over it" Mum consoled me I was so devastated. Why was all these happening to me? I received the news of his death today and I lost the pregnancy today. What a terrible day I will never forget in my entire life. It was not easy for me to cope. I was just like a shadow of myself. How will I move on? The doctor came and checked on me. "Doctor, why did I lose the baby?" "Valerie, you were under depression and that wa

What does he want to show us? We were looking at him to tell us what was going on. I thought of so many things but I was clueless. Ezra booted on his laptop and connected it to the big television in the living room. "Are you all ready to watch what I am about to play?" What was he talking about? Does he think we are here for a joke? "Ezra, what do you think you are doing? We have something important that we were talking about and you just interrupted us by changing the topic to seeing a movie?!" "Valerie, I need you to calm down. After watching this video, you will know who to believe and where you stand" I became very confused. What video was he talking about? I looked around to see if there was a camera in the house but I couldn't. Maybe he organized a video yesterday to prove his innocence. I think that was why he asked me to follow him to his pack. The video started playing. I couldn't understand what I was seeing but I came to realize that Chelsea was naked standing

We laid down flat. "These people are already here. What do we do?" "Shhh! Valerie, keep quiet. They will know that someone is here" I made a very big mistake. I would have asked them to take off the light in the pack. That was what my father did then. That was the main reason we overcame it. "Ezra, please go to wherever you can change this light and switch it off, also call the person in charge of the electricity in this Pack so that he can be able to take the light off. That way we can throw our enemies into confusion" He quickly left the room and went and switched off the general light in the house. He also made a phone call so that all lights would be off. We waited to hear more of the gunshots but we couldn't hear any. I could understand that when you switch off the lights, it over throws them off balance and they will be careful of how they attack anyone. It was a very dangerous game. Now we should be ready to stay awake all through the night because they are ready to
